From the TV special "A Concert Behind Prison Walls" hosted by Johnny Cash, taped in 1976 in the Tennessee State Prison, and first broadcast in 1977. Linda's backup band consists of Andrew Gold, Kenny Edwards, and Dan Dugmore. Not sure who the drummer is.

Why did they let her out?
Exactly. I read “live” as “lives” too.
Nice to be reminded how hot she was back then.
At that time I would guess Russ Kunkel.
One of my favorites of hers..Thanks.
I remember that concert. One of the numbers she performed for the convicts was “You’re No Good.” I thought, “Damn, Linda, I don’t believe I would have picked that one.” The inmates at it up. LOL
Then to think she got diddled by Jerry Brown kinda ruins the vibe.
What an incredible talent.
Unparalleled talent! Maybe Trisha Yearwood could be considered A L M O S T that good.........not much separates them, talent-wise. Linda owned that genre for at least a decade back then.
At least in my mind.
Sounds a whole lot like “Desperado”. The Stone Pony, her backup band, went on to become The Eagles.
“Not sure who the drummer is.”
It’s the guy with the drumsticks. HTH
Stone Poneys were a folk-rock trio formed in Los Angeles, consisting of Linda Ronstadt on vocals, Bobby Kimmel on rhythm guitar and vocals, and Kenny Edwards on lead guitar.
She did a great version of Silver Threads and Golden Needles.

Ok, more accurately, the Stone Poneys brought Ronstadt into the limelight, and eventually Ronstadt’s backup band (different people) that toured with her became the Eagles.

Many years ago I saw Phoebe Snow being interviewed on tv, and she was praising Ronstadt’s singing. She said Ronstadt sounded so endearing while she sang ballads because she had sort of a catch in her voice that made it sound like she was crying while she was singing. You can hear it in this song.
